Projects

Family Perception of NICU OpenNotes, El Camino Health (11/2021 - Present)
The 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule led to sharing of clinical notes electronically to all patients. OpenNotes, or the sharing of medical notes via a patient portal, has been studied extensively in the adult population, but less in pediatric populations, and not at all in the NICU. We published the first study nationally to understand parents’ interaction with and perception of the NICU physicians’ daily progress notes, shared with them via the hospital’s patient portal (MyChart), using a voluntary, anonymous survey of the families of patients in the El Camino Hospital NICU. Future projects include replicating the survey with families in the regional referral NICU at LPCH to compare responses between community and academic settings. We would also like to pursue a California-wide survey of NICU families via the California Association of Neonatologists (CAN) Research Committee.

Using Technology to Improve NICU Discharge Education, El Camino Hospital NICU (4/1/2018 - Present)
Our quality improvement journey to deliver more comprehensive and consistent discharge information, by first creating a discharge education electronic book (eBook) using the iBooks® application program (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA), and subsequently by using MyChart Bedside (Epic Systems Corporation, Verona, WI) to enhance NICU families’ preparedness for discharge.

Management of Infants at Risk for Early Onset Sepsis Born to Mothers with Suspected Chorioamnionitis, El Camino Hospital (2016 - 2018)
Risk of Early Onset Sepsis (EOS) is low in a well-appearing late preterm and term neonate, even if maternal risk factors (i.e. fever/chorioamnionitis) are present. Use of a clinical monitoring approach for EOS in well-appearing neonates was successfully implemented in a community hospital and was associated with substantial reductions in antibiotic exposure and laboratory testing.

Neuro-Humoral Biomarkers for Neonatal Skin-to-Skin Contact: An Observational Study, Gates Foundation Grand Challenges Explorations Grant (6/1/2015 - 10/31/2016)
Collaboration with University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine to measure neurosteroid levels in infants to determine whether they are affected by skin-to-skin contact, thereby influencing neurodevelopment. Skin-to-skin contact between mother and child shortly after birth has been linked with improved infant growth, breastfeeding and attachment, and, for preterm infants, enhanced neurodevelopment. The biological basis for this in humans is unclear, however in horses, high levels of neuroactive steroids in newborn foals can induce abnormal behavior including a failure to breastfeed. We will track neurosteroid levels in human infants, both full-term and premature, some of whom receive routine skin-to-skin contact, to identify any associations between the two that could identify potential neurodevelopmental defects amenable to treatment with skin-to-skin contact.
